In 2001, two in demand film composers, John Sponsler and Tom Gire formed Brand X Music with the goal of creating incredibly produced, Hollywood A list ready, licensable music for the film and television industry.

John and Tom’s collective portfolios contain a 22-year track record of upward growth and they continue to release unique and fresh music to clients worldwide. Their client base reads like a mini who’s who of composers, studios, producers, music supervisors, editors, and creative partners. Their deep knowledge of the industry and their immense attention to detail means Brand X offers a level of product that few can equal.

In 2005, Hans Zimmer invited John and Tom to join him in composing music for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. They wrote dozens of cues for Dead Man’s Chest, At World’s End, and On Stranger Tides, arranged and composed the flying bat Valkyrie canyon chase from Rango, and flew Gru back to earth while arranging for Pharrell Williams on Despicable Me. The incredible Mr. Zimmer even uses their arrangement of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ from Dead Man’s Chest during his live shows around the world.

They assisted maestro John Williams on his Academy Award-nominated scores for Memoirs of a Geisha and Munich and their drums can be heard to this day underneath John’s themes for NBC’s Thursday Night Football.
